Featured listings
Thirty days in the band. Nothing else.
Maintainers ask how to get their project seen. This is the honest answer: you can buy 30 days of placement in the Featured band, and every card that sits there because it was paid for says Sponsored on its face.
What a slot does not buy
- Rank. A paid window never touches the editorial
featuredflag, which is what ordering reads — not on the directory, not in search, not in the news signal, not in the MCP filter, not on a use-case page. Your position everywhere on the site is exactly what it was. - A Sato Score. The score is computed from evidence — maintenance, code transparency, docs, verification — by a script that does not know this page exists. How it is computed →
- Verification. Nothing here writes verification status, trust fields or any market flag. A sponsored card is a card in a slot, not a badge.
- Silence. The label is not a footnote, and there is no option to remove it.
Who can buy one
Only a listing with a domain of its own, and only that domain’s maintainer. The eligible domain is derived from the listing’s own website and docs URLs — you cannot name a domain, so nobody can buy a slot on a project that is not theirs. Shared hosts (github.io, vercel.app and the like) are excluded: proving one of those proves control of the platform, not the project.
302 of 382 listings qualify today. Claiming your listing — the Is this your project? link on its own page — is free and always will be — corrections are worth more to the index than they are to you, and we are not going to charge for them.
Buy a slot
Not yet available. Featured slots are built and ready, but no price has been set, so nothing can be bought here today. Nothing about your listing changes either way — and correcting a listing is always free at /claim/<slug>.
Sponsored: this project's maintainer paid for a 30-day slot in this band. It did not change the listing's Sato Score, its rank anywhere on the site, or its verification status — a paid slot is placement, and nothing else about the listing is for sale.
